Despite a last minute title update for Gears of War 3 arriving just in the nick of time to make joining and hosting games more interesting than usual, I think it’s safe to say that we all had a jolly good time last night in the first set of Gears of War Wednesday matches of 2012!
That’s right, a jolly good time!
Looking at the list of players, it seems as though most of our regular friends were online, Gnashing, Lancing and Longshotting one another, but of note was a guest appearance by super Gears player, Holden ZA, who joined in for a few rounds and mopped the floor with the opposition.
Vegeta ZA also slipped into the action (apparently not for the first time, having previously played as Omegazn’s ‘plus one’), and proceeded to trounce everybody with his sniping skills. Who’s a n00b?
littleGSA, bioshocksucks and other new players (to Gears of War Wednesday, anyway) showed up and showcased their skills, but I’m still a little confused how anyone could say anything bad about Bioshock…
Special mention goes to Nos4ra2, ArchangelZN and z00bear who all joined right at the end as we were wrapping up our last game a little after 11pm - hope you can join in again next time!
The star of the show last night, as far as I could see, was without a doubt GaaTY, who on several occasions was left to fend for himself against a full opposing team and on more than one occasion single-handedly won the round in the final moments - legendary Gears skills were witnessed!
Here’s who we saw come and go across our two games of Gears of War 3 last night:
- jGLZA (host)
- Numphie (host)
- FoFoZA
- Fullmetal MDK
- SKWEH
- MacDeath ZA
- Bro October
- CraigViking1977
- Bull3tSaint
- GaaTY
- M0mitha
- STEVOVO89
- HAMSTERJIE ZA
- GreatwytY
- BogusHenry
- Ze Snake
- de boss za
- THE ONE ZA
- Holden ZA
- Vegeta ZA
- littleGSA
- bioshocksucks
- Legend Killer ZA
- SwiftManslayrZA
Did I miss anyone? Spelling a bit funny? Let me know!
Thanks to everybody who joined in - despite my personal lack of energy due to the drainingly warm weather here in Durban, I still had a great time, especially listening to the devastating laughter than rung in my ears when my head was sheered clean off by sniper fire.
We hope to see you all again next week - we’ll announce the random spot prize winners soon, too, so keep your eyes peeled.

It was horrorfyingly( if that is a word ) fun last night got splattered alot still can believe how some of the guys can see each other in the middle of a sandstorm. I got killed three times when the storm was active.
Been waiting for this whole day. Last night was brilliant. I had one brief moment that people enjoyed but then i got killed by JGLZA who i decided last night i will call JIGGLZ cause i`m to lazy to spell his gamertag.
JGLZ proceeded to rip into my flesh so much that it seemed we were destined to meet somewhere on a map and duke it out. I won some i lost some but man it was epic
The laughs last night was the highlight. Losing meant nothing because it was so much damn fun.
I`m learning alot from you okes and i seem to be gradually improving.
Fullmetal - Thanx for keeping the volume up at those quiet moments when the guys are heavily concentrating. Big mouth syndrome rubbing off on me LOL
Thats enough of this novel
The Wednesday Gears Sessions are becoming more and more exciting each weak! It was much fun.
Being the modest old me, I don't think I was the star of the show :P But I did pull off some amazing moves! (which also surprised me lol)
Can't wait for next week's sessions!
LMAO @ JIGGLZ you guys crack me up XD
LOL SKWEH, yeah we had quite a few run in's lastnight didn't. I think there was one round where you were only guy I killed as I couldn't find anyone else.
But great fun as always guys, looking forward to the rest of the year.
And GL will do just fine, thanks.
Wow, I didn't realise 'the Wrap' was so anticipated SKWEH - sorry to keep you waiting ;). Don't worry, write your novel if you want, we want to hear about every story we didn't see for ourselves!
Great to hear everyone had a good time, already looking forward to next week!
lol the wrap up is very anticipated! as much as bro octobers commentry!
Thanks greatwyt, we'll be trying to mix it up in the future and make it a little more exciting... ;)
Wednesday night was the first night I played Gears 3 on a 4mbps line thanks to SwiftManslayrZA :D man who knew no teleporting would be so awesome! ;)
Oh, there's no underscore in my name on Xbox Live, it's not allowed :/
